Bright, zesty, and completely fat-free, this vibrant green salsa bursts with fresh flavor. A blend of cilantro, lime, and mild heat from serrano and bell peppers creates a sauce that’s both refreshing and bold. The rice vinegar and touch of brown sugar balance acidity and spice, making it irresistibly versatile. Use it as a dip for crisp vegetables, a lively topping for grilled chicken or fish, or a light alternative to traditional salsas. Every spoonful delivers a fresh, tangy kick that truly sings.
INGREDIENTS:
1 big bunch cilantro, washed, large stems removed
1/2 white onion, peeled
1/2 (or to taste) serrano chile
1 green bell pepper, stemmed and seeded
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Salt to taste
METHOD:
Puree all ingredients in a blender until smooth, starting slowly and adding ingredients as the mixture thickens. Taste and adjust seasonings — it should “sing” with bright flavor!
Serve as a fat-free dip for vegetables, or spoon over grilled chicken or fish.
